I’ve found a new passion for carving

I spent two days with Dave on this course, and I’ve found a new passion for carving. I was a total beginner at the start of day one, but under his expert and patient tuition I managed to carve both a spoon and a butter spreader. At the start of day two, we had a discussion on what I felt were my areas for development, and he focussed on those for that day. This resulted in me taking home much improved versions the second day. I would recommend this course to anyone starting out in carving, and if you can do two consecutive days then do it. Plus the flapjacks are as good as everyone says. Amazing course, great teacher, memories for life, thanks Dave.
